Markus Schulz and BLR reimagine Tiësto’s ‘Ten Seconds Before Sunrise’ for In Search of Sunrise 21: Listen

Few tracks embody the In Search of Sunrise spirit as deeply as Tiësto’s ‘Ten Seconds Before Sunrise’ – an emotional anthem that defined a generation of dreamers. Now, for In Search of Sunrise 21: Nirvana, Markus Schulz and BLR unite to reimagine the classic, bridging past and present. With Schulz’s cinematic trance storytelling intertwined with BLR’s melodic touch, the result is a journey designed for euphoric peaks as well as moments of quiet reflection.

Revisiting the track carried personal significance for Markus Schulz. “Everyone knows Tiësto’s history with In Search of Sunrise, and it cemented his status as a legend long before today. However, the original of Ten Seconds Before Sunrise never actually appeared on any of his mixes, which to me always felt like a missing piece of history. It deserved its place in the legacy, and reimagining it now along with Leon was about finally correcting that gap.”

Importantly, this is more than a cover—it stands as a tribute to the enduring influence of Tiësto’s original while reaffirming why trance continues to inspire in 2025. Built for today’s dancefloors but rooted in timeless emotion, ‘Ten Seconds Before Sunrise’ reflects the genre’s ability to look forward while staying grounded in its soul.

Ultimately, no finer closing statement could exist for the triple-mix odyssey of In Search of Sunrise 21 than this reimagined anthem. Out today on Black Hole Recordings, Markus and BLR’s collaboration captures both nostalgia and innovation in a single stroke.
